Manicure Monday: OPI The One That Got Away

9:00 AM

Lately, my mind has been marinating on the upcoming holidays. One of my favorite things about American Thanksgiving dinners is eating turkey with cranberry sauce which is exactly what today's Manicure Monday reminds me of. OPI's The One That Got Away is a gorgeous glass-flecked polish from the Katy Perry collection and stunningly Fall-appropriate color. Let's check it out below.

My eye gravitated toward this bottle because of the amazing, slightly multi-chromal shimmer. The chrome effect is much more pronounced in the bottle than on my nails, unfortunately, but the end result is so beautiful that I can forgive it.

On the nails, The One That Got Away becomes a highly reflective raspberry with shimmers glinting hot pink. It actually reminds me of stained glass due to its rich color and slight translucence.

Overall, I'm loving this polish on my nails as a gorgeous, not-quite-vampy shade. It has enough depth that it reminds me of gemstones and I have a feeling it will look lovely on every skintone. It may be a work-appropriate, but far from boring. Love!

Readers, are you a fan of Fall gemstone shades? What is your favorite? Let me know in the comments!

My favorite OPI Color is Linkin Park After Dark. Have you tried Julep? I'm in love with their colors and a lot of the time you only need one coat and the color lasts a long time, especially on natural nails which tend to chip easier, or at least mine do.

Love your MM post as usual! Just wanted to let you know about a new drugstore polish called Revlon Parfumerie if you haven't seen them already. I stumbled across it in a Fred Meyer the other day and bought a dupe of Deborah Lippmann Mermaid Dream. Opaque in 2 coats, and the best part is... ITS SCENTED! and the smell actually lasts all day after the varnish is dried! I tried to research it some online but its apparently only being previewed and figured you might want to take a look at them if you haven't already. Also... the bottles are to freaking die for! They look like miniature perfume bottles! so cute!

Could you do a tutorial on how you trim and shape your nails to such perfection? Your Manicure Monday series posts are awesome! But getting good polishes is one thing, having nice nails to start with is crucial! So yep!
